Jeff, Does your method backup the actual window-eyes program, not just the set files and dictionaries? In other words, if the beta had a problem and one needed to get back to 7.11, (which is the full version I have), would I be able to uninstall the 7.2 beta 1, then plant the default directory in the same place and have window-eyes 7.11 running again, just like before?
Alternatively, I have the 7.0 disk, and the 7.1 executable file, and the 7.11 executable file. Could I reinstall window-Eyes 7.11 by installing these programs in order?

Then arrow down to Gw micro and press enter Select window-eyes and press enter Select users and press enter And select default Copy the whole default folder somewhere safe because this is where all of your set files and scripts are stored.

I thought I was doing the right thing and I tried to copy my entire WE folder to a safe place and it didn't work. I still don't know what the correct way is to save my settings and set files. I tried and installed the bata and had the button issue. That was not tollerable so I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall my 7.11 starting from the 7.0 disk then the 7.1 upgrade and the 7.11 . When I went to find the WE folder I thought I had put in a safe place it was gone. I hesitate to try reinstalling the bata for this reason. How do I save my settings of WE that work for me?

I would like to use the new beta but I don't want to loose my stuff. How do I make sure that my current files are available to restore to my 7.11 if 7.2 doesn't work for me? I would like to be able to try the beta and if It doesn't work better to revert back to what I know and love, exactly as if I never did anything. Which files do I need to back up so I have it all? Do I coppy the entire WE file from my hard drive? Thanks a bunch for the info. If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
